Torn Between The Canon R50, R50 V, and R10

• ⁠Budget:

I prefer the price of the R50/R50 V, but I’d rather just get the R10 now instead if I would have to get it within a year or two anyway.

• ⁠Country:

USA

• ⁠Condition:

Definitely prefer new, but it depends on the price cut.

• ⁠Type of Camera:

Mainly looking at these three mirrorless options rn.

• ⁠Intended use:

Creatively, I’m more of a photographer than a videographer. Any video I take would mostly be to create travel reels of the places I visit.

• ⁠If photography; what style:

Mostly street photography, occasionally geographic. I like playing with light trails and stars.

• ⁠If video what style:

Just travel! Also collecting b-roll, so I’m interested in slow motion, but I don’t mind the crop levels of these cameras too much.

• ⁠What features do you absolutely need:

Tbh I feel very simple as a user. For me, the fun of photography is in practicing exposure. I like that the R50 V doesn’t overheat as much but I feel like I’ll really miss the viewfinder. I don’t need a lot of impressive video features, just something I can apply LUTs to. I’m also a 6’4” man, so I’m uncertain how much the size of these cameras will matter in my hands.

• ⁠Portability:

Not really an issue for me. I like packing a camera bag.

• ⁠Cameras you're considering:

Canon R50, R50 V, R10

• ⁠Cameras you already have:

Currently, none.

• ⁠Notes:

I’ve heard mixed opinions that the R50 V isn’t as good at photography as the other two, but I can’t see why that is. Also, are there any areas that the R50 beats the R50 V in outside of ease of use? Thanks!
